Carrots, white beans and ginger soup ( Crema de zanahorias. jengibre y porotos)





Okay. We are closer to Autumn,  and Im really happy of it! 
Here in the day it is still hot but the nights are a delight. You're almost  feel cold..

But I know that those who wait for spring are happy and it's fine. Spring is lovely too.
I made this creamy soup a while ago (I love soups all year round ) but typical of mine I did not find where I had it.
Ordering yesterday I finally found it!
It is  delicious  and healthy (like many soups) and is very good with sliced almonds when served.
And I love ginger too !
With Esperanza my daughter we love soups.
I hope you enjoy it.
Much love!
